Hibernate: Data Persistence layer Framework

Hibernate is an object-relational mapping solution under the Java language. It is a free, open source software issued using the GNU Wide general Public License. It provides an easy-to-use framework for the mapping of object-oriented domain models to traditional relational databases. Hibernate is also currently the most popular database persistence framework in Java development and is now owned by JBoss. Published based on the LGPL V2.1 protocol.

It is designed to liberate software developers from many of the same data persistence-related programming work. Whether you start with a draft design or a legacy database, developers can use hibernate.

Hibernate is not only responsible for mapping from Java classes to database tables, but also for mapping from Java data types to SQL data types, and also provides an object-oriented query retrieval mechanism for data, which greatly shortens the manual processing of development time on SQL and JDBC.
